CH-62 MAGICAL, MYSTICAL, MEMORY TRICKS!
Students learn in many different ways. It may also be true that they "remember" in different ways! This script introduces an alternate approach to remembering and is available for Intermediate Readers.
The idea for this script hatched after having a short but “telling” conversation with a grandson who was in kindergarten. He said, “Grandma, I don't have a very good memory, you know.” I responded that I didn't know that at all. He said, “Well, when I just try to remember something I can't, but when I put it in a picture in my head, I can.” Out of the mouths of babes...
I'd recently read about The Locus System of Memory, introduced by the Greek poet, Simonides, over 2,500 years ago and used by the Greeks and Romans. The system involves visualizing a mental picture for each item you want to remember, then mentally placing it in a locus (or place) where it can easily be found and remembered when needed. During the Dark Ages, the system was taught as one of the black arts, and called the “Secret Art of Memory”.
Knowing how young readers enjoy Harry Potter and his “black arts”, I decided to take one small part of The Locus System of Memory, give it a magical/mystical overview, and write it as a Choral Speaking/Reading script for young readers.
